LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The general con-
sensus of opinion i'll political circles and
the various clubs tonight seems to be
that the reception given the ear of Rus
sia this morning in Berlin was of cold
and formal nature, and had no political
significance whatever. The extremely
dangerous illness of the crown prince,
Frederick William, seems to cast a gloom
over the entire city, and the grand
pageant to-day, to which almost the en-
tire city turned out, seemed to impress
the onlookers more as a duty than a
hearty ovation. The protracted inter-
view which the emperor of Russia held
with the imperial German chancellor, at
his palace on the Inter den Linden
evidently is taken to mean that the eld-
est son of the crown prince and
eventually the heir to the throne
is unwilling to hold an interview with
the Russian emperor. There is no
doubt but what Bismarck was sum-
moned to the capital for the express
purpose of dealing with Alexander and
maintaining the integrity of the recent
~ signed triple alliance. During the
Whole interview, il is stated, the willy
German chancellor simply dealt in mag
nifieent generalities. The health of the
crown prince, in view of the late seri-
Gus developments, is remarkable. He
retains his strength and spirits, his eyes
are bright and his step light. Evident
y he has braced himself to accept the
inevitable with wonderful complaiS-
ance.

duced His Surrender.

duced His Surrender.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-When Lord Sails
bury last week, at the lord mayors ban
Quet at the Guild hall, announced that
AyOub Khan had surrendered to the In
dian government, or, in other words, to
England, he undoubtedly stated a truth.
That is, 1t is truth as far as it goes.
That AyOub Khan has surrendered is
true, but if Lord Salisbury had gone on
and mentioned that the English govern
ment had made Sundry promises to the
rebel which induced his surrender, he
would have stated the whole truth: for
it comes from undoubted authority that
England did make promises to the
Afghan pretender, one of which was to
put him on the throne of Afghanistan
when the present feeble ameer dies.
The second son of Shere Ali, the late
ameer, is AyOub, but neither of the
brothers succeeded to the throne of their
father. but England, in order to gain
control over the country, or rather to re-
tain her control upon the death of SEere
Ali, offered the throne to the latter'S
nephew, Ab-del- -Rahman, the present
ameer. There is likely, however, to be
a hitch in the programme being carried
out as proposed. The present ameer
has a son about thirteen years old, and
it may occur to Russia, whose forces
are much nearer Cabul now than when
England put Shere Ali on the throne.
to eSpouse the cause of this infant, and
so put a serious check upon the plans of
England. 1t would be strange if the
fortunes of this semi-civiliZed country
should bring about an issue between two
great European nations, but it is quite
possible. These interesting facts about
the surrender of the war-like Ayoub
Khan are what Lord Salisbury did not
mention at the Guild hail banquet.

ENOR BITANT RENTS
Causing Congressman TO Open

WASHINGTON, Nov. .1S.-The furnished
houses this season are not bringing
princely fortunes to their pOsseSSOrs.
The members of congress are getting
their canine teeth cut, and have ceased
10 throw away their meager salaries in
that fashion. You see. the average fur
nished house costs its lessee $50 or $50
per month for rent. The furniture
costs from 5000 to $1,000. Ten per
cent on the best would be $500 per an
mum. But they charge $50 per month
for the furniture, or 20 per cent upon
investment. That is rather large rate
of interest to be paid even by the mem
berS of the ''wayback deeStrIck." The
cost of living is always four times the
cost of rent. 1t costs more TO keep up
costly establishment than for a small
one. For example, if you rent house
for SD per month, as the government
clerks do, il will cost four times that
amount 10 live, or 500 per month.
When d congressman rents a house for
Sl25 per month it costs him four times
that amount. OF 500, to live per month,
and that is 5000, or $1,000 more than
his salary. You see. servants and fuel
and lights and other expenses, make
the average just the same, according to
statistics. Hence the members OF con-
greSS are catching on to this lesson of
political economy, and are avoiding the
furnished houses. 1t is cheaper to
rent a furnished fiat and keep house. or
to board at a hotel. They are all find

deal of fuss over the reduction of rates
made by the Milwaukee IL st. Paul, and
the meeting of them by the Northern

that the Milwaukee & st. Paul has

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 1S.-This after
noon considerable excitement was ere
ated over the attempt of the Northern
Pacific to hinder the entrance of the
Montana Central, the Manitoba extern
sion, into the city. About two miles
from Helena the Montana Central
crosses the Northern Pacific. This
crossing was condemned by the Mon
tana Central some months ago, but the
Northern Pacific appealed from the de-
ciSiOn of the appraisers on awarding
damages. RumorS of impending con-
t1ict have been current for some days.
To-day at noon the Montana Central
tracklayers reached this point. and
crossed the Northern Pacific
main line without opposition.
From this point about a
mile towards the city the Montana Cen
tral had built it's grade by mistake on
the Northern Pacific right of way. This
error it discovered about month ago,
and abandoning the first grade built an
other outside of the Northern Pacific
limits. A few days ago the Northern
Pacific took possession of the abandoned
grade and

Helena of its branch which heretofore
joined the main line about two miles

tracklayers reached the abandoned road
they found a Northern Pacific work
train on it, which Obstructed further
passage. A delay of two hours ensued,
when by orders from st. Paul the
Northern Pacific raised the blockade and
tracklaying advanced without further
opposition. The Montana Central track
entered the city limits this afternoon.
Next Monday the first train from st.
Paul, with Mr.. Hill and other Manitoba
officials, will arrive, and the day will
be celebrated by street parades,
speeches and banquet. The Northern
Pacific opposition to-day was probably
based EN- the fact that the Montana Cen
trail had failed to legally condemn the
crossing of the abandoned grade which
has become part OF the Northern Pacific
system. Feeling over the occurrence
ran high and citizens volunteered to go
out Ell masse to the relief of the Mon
tana Central. The timely withdrawal
of the Northern Pacific was all that pre-
